This well engineered, tankless gas water

heater has all the features a water heater

should have:

The instantaneous principle of heating water is

very simple. Cold water enters the heater when

a hot water faucet is opened. This flow of water

causes the gas valve to open. Gas flows to the

burners and is ignited by the pilot flame. The heat

exchanger then absorbs the heat generated by

the burners and transfers it to the cold water as it

travels through the heat exchanger. When the hot

water is turned off, the gas valve automatically

closes and the burners shut off. Your hot water

faucet is an ignition key for hot water. You now

have complete control over your hot water energy

use. [See pages 22-26 for detailed Description

of Operation and Parts Layout Diagrams].

FEATURES

• Automatic thermostatic control for steady

hot water temperature. Burner output is

proportional to water flow for maximum

energy efficiency.

• Automatic thermostatic control for steady

hot water temperature.

• Safety thermocouple at pilot and burner.

• Automatic Energy Cut-Off mechanism.

• Built-in gas shut-off valve.

• Stainless steel burners with stabilized blue

SETTING THE INLET GAS PRESSURE FOR HIGH ALTITUDES

The pressure regulator provided with the heater is set to deliver the proper gas pressure (as

indicated on the rating plate and in the manual) for altitude up to 2500 feet (758 meters) above sea

level. On appliances being installed above 2500 ft/ 758 m elevation, the inlet gas pressure should

be reset at installation to the value shown below for the altitude of the installation.

NOTE: The gas pressures specified below refer to pressures taken at the test pressure

nipple on the manual gas valve as shown in fig.3 page 9. These readings should be taken

while the heater is operating at full output --i.e. maximum water flow with the temperature

setting on #8.

CAUTION: RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

If you are using the AquaStar for combined space heating and potable water heating (

see

schematic diagram below),

all piping and other components connected to the system must

be suitable for potable water, (b) toxic chemicals such as those commonly used for boiler

treatment to prevent corrosion and freezing must not be introduced into the system, and

mestic, potable water, a mixing valve or other similar device must be provided to reduce

scald hazard potential. DO NOT CONVERT AN EXISTING, CLOSED HOT WATER HEATING

SYSTEM TO A COMBINATION SPACE AND POTABLE WATER HEATING SYSTEM USING

THE AQUASTAR OR ANY OTHER HEAT SOURCE.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

1. You should follow these instructions when you

install your heater.

In the United States: The installation must con-

form with local codes or, in the absence of local

codes, the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/

NFPA 54.

In Canada: The installation should conform with

CGA B149.(1,2) INSTALLATION CODES and/

or local installation codes.

2. Carefully plan where you install the heater. Cor-

rect combustion air supply and flue pipe instal-

lation are very important. If a gas appliance is

not installed correctly, fatal accidents can result

from lack of air, carbon monoxide poisoning or

6. Keep water heater area clear and free from

combustibles and flammable liquids. Do not lo-

cate the heater over any material which might

burn, such as carpet.

7. Correct gas pressure is critical for the optimum

operation of this heater (see specifications on

page 3). Gas piping must be sized to provide

the required pressure at the maximum output of

the heater. Check with your local gas supplier,

and see gas line size requirements on page 27.

8. As a precaution, shut off your heater if you plan

to be away for several days.

9. Should overheating occur and the gas supply

fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas control

valve to the appliance.

10. See instructions on setting the water tempera-

ture, page 12.

11. Do not use this appliance if any part has been

under water. Immediately call a qualified service

technician to inspect the appliance and to replace

any part of the control system and any gas con-

trol which has been under water.

fire.

3. The place where you install the heater must

have enough ventilation. The National Fire Codes

do not allow water heater installation in bath-

rooms, bedrooms or any occupied rooms nor-

mally kept closed. See the section on Pages 7-8

on Locating the Heater.

4. You must vent your heater. See section on Vent

Pipe Connection, Page 10, paragraph 6 and

Venting Guide on page 27.

5. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve

must be disconnected from the gas supply pip-

ing system during any pressure testing of that

system at pressures in excess of 1/2 psig

(3.5kPa).

The appliance must be isolated from the gas

supply piping system by closing its individual

manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing

of the gas supply piping system at test pressures

equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa). The

appliance and its gas connection must be leak

LOCATING YOUR HEATER FOR SAFE PROPER COMBUSTION

Carefully select the location of your new heater. For your safety and for proper heater operation,

you must provide an abundant supply of combustion air and install a proper vent. The heater

may still operate even when improperly installed. However, an improper installation will be less

efficient and may damage the heater. Improper installation can even result in human sickness or

death due to oxygen deprivation and carbon monoxide poisoning. Follow the guidelines below:

Appliances located in confined spaces:

The confined space shall be provided

with two permanent openings, one com-

mencing within 12 inches of the top and

one commencing within 12 inches of the

bottom of the enclosure. Each opening

shall have a minimum free area of one

square inch per:

-1,000 Btu/hr if all air is taken from inside

the building.

-2,000 Btu/hr if all air is taken from the

outside by horizontal ducts.

-4,000 Btu/hr if all air is taken from the

outside by direct openings or vertical

ducts.

Louvers, grills and screens have a block-

ing effect. If the effective free area is not

known, assume 20% to 25% for wood lou-

vers and 60% to 75% for metal louvers.

Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code for

complete information. In buildings of tight

construction, all air should be taken from

outside.

5. Place your heater as close to a vent or chim-

ney as possible. Your hot water lines should be

kept short to save energy. It is always best to

have hot water lines insulated.

6. Having a floor drain or sink nearby is handy in

case you need to drain water from your heater.

7. Place the heater in a location where water

leaks will do NO DAMAGE to adjacent areas or

lower floors. CONTROLLED ENERGY CORP

IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WATER DAM-

AGE.

1. You must not install this appliance in bathrooms,

bedrooms, unvented closets or any occupied

rooms normally kept closed.

2. Simultaneous operation of appliances such as

exhaust fans, ventilation systems, clothes dryers,

fireplaces or wood stoves may create a vacuum

effect in your home. This can cause dangerous

combustion by-products to spill back into your

home rather than venting to the outside through

the flue.

3. A simple test for proper ventilation is to

inroduce smoke (as from a candle) near the lou-

vers on the front of the heater. Have all appli-

ances mentioned in the above paragraph oper-

ating at the same time. Have all doors and win-

dows to the outside shut. If the heater does not

suck the smoke into the louvers while the heater

is operating, you need to supply additional com-

bustion air to the heater and/or improve the vent

system.

4. Observe the following instructions concerning

additional combustion air.

Appliances located in unconfined spaces:

a) An unconfined space is one in which

the volume is greater than 50 cubic feet

per 1000 Btu per hour of the combined

rating of all appliances installed in the

space. That would be 6250 cubic feet

for the AquaStar 125 alone.

b) In unconfined spaces in buildings of

conventional frame, masonry, or metal

construction, infiltration is normally ad-

equate to provide air for combustion, ven-

tilation, and dilution of flue gasses.

heater. Use the adhesive tape which is included

in the package to stick the pattern to the wall.

Keep in mind that the heater needs to have cer-

tain minimum clearances (See paragraph 7 on

this page), and that the heater must be level. Drill

four holes into the wall at the studs (16 inches on

center) as indicated on the template. Use a 1/8

inch drill if screws are to go directly into wood or

1/4 inch if plastic anchors are to be used.

WARNING: Be sure to remove the paper

template before hanging the heater on the

wall.

After the paper template is removed, insert the

mounting screws into the two upper holes. Leave

1/2 inch between the wall and the screw head, in

order to have enough space for your unit to slip

over. The bottom screws will secure the Water

and Gas Connecting Strip Assembly to the wall.

Next remove the front panel. To do this, remove

the temperature selector knob (H) and the pilot

starting button by pulling them out. Unscrew the

screws under each front corner. Lift the panel up

and pull out. At this point, you can either screw

the two large screws to fasten the Water and Gas

Connecting Strip Assembly to the wall using the

pre-drilled holes and connect your pipes directly

to the water heater, or you can remove the heater

from the Water and Gas Connecting Strip Assem-

bly in order to connect the piping, and then re-

connect the heater later. If you decide to connect

the pipes directly, skip the next section and go to

#3, "Connecting the Gas Line."

2. To Disconnect Heater From the Water and

Gas Connecting Strip Assembly (Optional)

Refer to figure 3 (following page). Unscrew each

brass union nut at the three points marked in fig-

ure 3. Be careful not to lose the washers. Re-

move your heater from the Water and Gas Con-

necting Strip. Now you can make your water and

gas connections as explained in the following

sections. When all connections have been made,

re-hang the heater on the upper screws and re-

connect the brass union nuts making certain that

the washers are properly in place.

8. For alcove installation, maintain the following

minimum clearances from all construction for ser-

vicing and proper operations:

Alcove Closet

A. Top 6 inches 12 inches

B. Front OPEN 6 inches

C. Back 0 inches 0 inches

D. Sides 1 inch 1 inch

(Left side 6" for service)

E. Floor 6 inches* 12 inches*

F. Flue 6 inches 6 inches

(single wall only)

*Do not install over floor covering which is combustible,

such as carpet.

Minimum clearance to combustible materials

should not be less than 6" for single wall flue pipe.

Note that this can be reduced if combustible

materials are protected as per table VI of the

National Fuel Gas Code or if Type B gas vent is

used. (Follow the minimum clearances for the

vent type. We recommend the use of Type B gas

vent.

9. WARNING: THIS WATER HEATER DOES

NOT STORE ANY HOT WATER. DO NOT IN-

STALL IN AN AREA WHERE IT COULD

FREEZE. This heater is neither designed for

nor approved for outside installation.

10. The heater must be level before you begin

the piping.

INSTALLATION

Before installing the unit, be certain your heater

is for your type of gas - Propane or Natural Gas.

Identification labels for type of gas are found on

the shipping box, on the right side panel and on

the rating plate which is located in upper part of

draft hood seen by removing front panel (See

"X" Fig. 2, page 6). Also, each gas orifice is

stamped with a number (75 for LPG and 115 for

Natural Gas).

1. Hanging the heater on the wall

Place the paper pattern or template (supplied with

heater) on the wall where you plan to hang your

form with local codes or, in the absence of local

codes, the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.

1/NFPA 54.

In Canada: The installation should conform with

CGA B149 INSTALLATION CODES and/or lo-

cal installation codes.

IMPORTANT An appliance gas pressure regula-

tor has been supplied with this unit. This regula-

tor must be installed on the gas line within 6 feet

of the heater. National Fuel Gas Code requires

that a sediment trap be installed on gas appli-

ances not so equipped. The 3/4" NPT gas inlet

elbow fitting supplied with the heater connects to

the manual gas shutoff valve with a washer gas-

ket. No pipe dope or thread tape should be used

at this joint. The 3/4" NPT side of the fitting has a

hex shoulder to help you avoid twisting the elbow

and requires pipe dope or thread tape to make

its seal. The 3/4" size is the minimum for use

with Natural Gas and must not be reduced. Pro-

pane gas line size requirements are less than

those for Natural Gas. Provided the propane gas

line is less than 20 feet and serves only the

AquaStar, it can be reduced to 5/8". When

threading the gas pressure regulator to the gas

piping, the indicator arrow on the regulator must

be pointed in the direction of gas flow.

NOTE: The regulator supplied with the

heater is an appliance level regulator de-

signed for low inlet pressure (less than 1/2

LB or 15"W.C.). DO NOT connect to an un-

regulated or high pressure propane line.

When your connections are made, check for gas

leaks at all joints (not just ones you made). Apply

some soapy water to all gas fittings and gas valve.

Soap bubbles are a sign of a leak.

NOTE: Do not apply soap solution to pilot filter

screen or pilot orifice area. If you have a leak,

shut off the gas. After verifying that required gas-

kets are in place, tighten appropriate fittings to

stop leak. Turn the gas on and check again with

a soapy solution. Never test for gas leaks using

a match or flame.

4. Connecting the water lines

Although water piping throughout your structure

may be other than copper, copper piping should

be used for at least three feet before and after

the heater (follow local codes if more stringent).

Keep water inlet pipe to at least 1/2 inch diam-

eter to allow the full flow capacity. Remember

that piping and water pressure must allow suffi-

cient flow to activate the heater when drawing hot

water from the top floor. If the hot and cold con-

nections are reversed, the heater will not func-

tion.

Fig. 3 To Disconnect Heater From Wall Hanging Strip

Sweat your cold water pipe to the AquaStar inlet

elbow fitting. NOTE: The inlet filter screen and

water flow restrictor can be damaged by heat

if the cold water inlet elbow is attached to

the AquaStar when it is sweated to the cold

water inlet pipe. The inlet and outlet elbow fit-

tings seal by means of a union connection with a

washer type gasket at the joint. Although these

fittings have 1/2" threads, NPT fittings should not

be substituted for these elbows and no pipe dope

or thread tape is to be used at the joints. Be cer-

tain there are no loose particles or dirt in the pip-

ing. Blow out or flush out the lines before con-

necting to the AquaStar.

5. Connecting the pressure relief valve

A temperature and pressure relief valve must be

installed on the hot water line, close to the heater.

No valve is to be placed between the relief valve

and the heater. Installation shall be made in such

a manner that the discharge from the tempera-

ture and pressure relief valve will be conducted

to a suitable place for disposal when relief oc-

curs. No reducing coupling or other restriction

may be installed in the discharge line. The dis-

charge line must be installed such that it allows

complete drainage of both the valve and the line.

The location of the relief valve must be readily

accessible for servicing or replacement. To ac-

commodate the pressure relief valve, a suitable

fitting connected to an extension of a "T" fitting

can be sweated to the line. Make the T-fitting

extension long enough to ensure that the tempera-

ture probe does not interfere with the water flow.

The relief pressure of the valve must not exceed

150 psig. The relief temperature of the valve must

not exceed 210ºF and the discharge capacity

must be at least 125,000 Btu per hour.

6. Vent pipe connection. WARNING: Do not

reduce the vent pipe size.

This appliance must be vented to the outside fol-

lowing all local ordinances and specifications for

installing a gas appliance vent or chimney. The

gasses to the outdoors under all operating con-

venting system must be constructed so as to

develop a positive flow adequate to remove flue

ditions.

The appliance must be located as close as prac-

ticable to a chimney or vent. The vent pipe sec-

tions must be fastened with sheet metal screws.

Keep in mind the minimum clearance from the

top of your heater. Remember also that single

wall vent pipe connectors require a 6 inch clear-

ance from combustibles. National Fuel Gas Code

specifies double wall - Type "B" - vent pipe be

used in cold climates and for gas vents running

through attics. We consider double wall vent pipe

preferable in all circumstances. The vent con-

nector should have as much vertical rise as pos-

sible (minimum 12") before any horizontal run.

Any vent section greater than 45 degrees from

vertical is considered horizontal. Horizontal sec-

tions of vent connectors must slope upwards at

least 1/4 inch for every foot of its horizontal length.

Keep the horizontal section short and avoid too

many elbows.

Note: Although the AquaStar has the same vent-

ing requirements as other Category I gas appli-

ances, certain features and specific use charac-

teristics make it more important to have a vent-

ing system which exceeds minimum standards.

AquaStar thermostats modulate burner output.

Therefore, when operating at less than full out-

put, the heater does not have its full heating ca-

pacity to warm the flue pipes to create a natural

draft. Most gas appliances have longer duty

cycles than are typical of instantaneous heaters.

For these it is considered sufficient if the appli-

ance can overcome a downdraft within the first

five minutes of operation. An instantaneous "on

demand" heater like the AquaStar may have

frequent operating cycles of less than a minute.

If venting and air supply are inadequate to pro-

vide a positive draft as soon as the heater turns

on, the heater may not remain on long enough to

establish a positive draft. See venting guide on

page 27.

is lighted. Keep the center knob pressed

all the way in for at least 10 seconds after

pilot is lighted. Release push knob and

turn it clockwise to

If pilot goes out, wait 5 minutes before

relighting.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING

WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion

may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

A. This appliance has a pilot which must be

lighted by hand. When lighting the pilot,

follow these instructions exactly.

B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the

appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell

next the floor because some gas is

heavier than air and will settle on the floor.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electrical switch; do

not use any phone in your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from

a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas

suppliers's instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier,

call the fire department.

C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the

gas control knob. Never use tools. If the

knob will not push in or turn by hand, don't

try to repair it, call a qualified service tech

nician. Attempted forceful repair may re

sult in a fire or explosion.

D. Do not use this appliance if any part has

been under water. Immediately call a

qualified service technician to inspect the

appliance and to replace any part of the

control system and any gas control which

has been under water.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. STOP! Read the safety information

above.

2. Push in gas control handle slightly and turn

clockwise to "RED DOT" position.

3. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas.

If you smell gas, STOP! Follow "B" in the

safety information above. If you don't smell

SETTING THE WATER TEMPERATURE

The AquaStar 80 water heater contains a flow

restrictor set at 3 1/4 gpm. Its purpose is to as-

sure that the hot water temperature will always

be within a comfortable range regardless of how

high one may turn on the hot water faucet or how

many faucets may be turned on. Your AquaStar

model 80 also has an automatic thermostatic con-

trol with a manual temperature setting (Fig. 2 let-

ter H p. 6). For energy efficient operation, we

recommend operating this heater at the lowest

temperature which you require in your applica-

tion. This will provide a more consistent tempera-

ture over a wider range of flow. Lower tempera-

ture settings help prevent temperature fluctuations

that may occur when other water outlets are used

simultaneously or overall water pressure changes

or excessive cold water has to be added. In hard

water areas, reducing the water temperature

greatly reduces the potential for mineral scale

build-up in the heat exchanger.

What is the best temperature setting?

Because AquaStar water heaters can deliver

endless hot water at the exact temperature which

you have selected, there is no need to set it for

very hot water and then mix in cold. It just doesn't

make sense to overheat water then mix in a lot

of cold water to cool it off. Remember you can-

not run out of hot water with an AquaStar, so set

the dial for the (exact) temperature that you need.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Approximately once a year, the AquaStar should

be checked, cleaned and serviced as necessary.

The following operations must be performed by

a qualified service person:

Vent System: Should be checked annually.

Clean and repair as needed.

Water Valve (Part #34343): The water valve on

this heater should be serviced periodically de-

pending on hardness of water and conditions of

use or whenever signs of corrosion appear at the

gas and water valve joint. Servicing the water

valve consists of replacing the Push Rod Assem-

bly (part #21107), the Diaphragm (part# 32570),

and the Water Valve Spring Loaded Piston (part

#34542).

Drainage: Drain the heater if there is any dan-

ger of freezing. Shut off the water supply, open

all hot water faucets, and disconnect the lowest

AquaStar fittings and the connections to the wa-

ter valve (Fig 2, (R), page 6). Loosen the 2 re-

taining screws at the connection to the gas valve

and rotate the water valve 360

to empty all the

water. The pressure-temperature relief valve op-

eration should be checked. Perform a manual

operation of this valve at least once a year en-

suring that a drain is nearby to receive any dis-

charge (see section 5, page 10). Take precau-

tions to avoid contact with hot water coming out

of discharge opening and to prevent water dam-

age. Do not plug the relief valve. If the relief

perature by signficantly changing the flow rate,

particularly at the highest temperature settings.

model "S" version heater. The model "S"

is a specifically modified AquaStar which will

not overheat if inlet water is already hot.

Position "5" on the temperature dial is the pre-

ferred starting point for setting the temperature

control. This setting provides approximately

130ºF depending on the flow rate.

Positions "2" and "3" provide approximately

105ºF, adequate for a shower depending on flow

rate.

Positions "4" through "6" are intermediate set-

tings between warm and very hot.

Position "8" allows for the hottest temperature of

about 150ºF up to about 1.8 gallons per minute.

WARNING: 150ºF can cause third degree

burns.

service is required. This could be due to a de-

fective relief valve or to overheating.

Pilot Flame: The pilot flame should burn with

a clean sharp blue flame and should resemble

Fig.4 below. If the flame is yellow, or if the

central button Fig. 2 (P) has to remain de-

pressed for a long time in order to keep the pilot

lighted, the pilot may need to be cleaned or the

orifice replaced.

screws at bottom of corners of front panel, pull

out and lift panel off). Disconnect the Pilot Tube

Fig. 2 (S) at its base and blow gently through it

(

see diagram of Pilot Assembly, page 19).

careful not to lose the pilot orifice and

washers. Remove and clean pilot filter by

peeling off the outer layer. Do not use any wire

or sharp object to clean orifices. Natural gas

orifices are large enough that you can usually

clean them by blowing through them. LP orifices

are too small to clean and should be replaced.

Do not enlarge the orifice.

Main Burner Flames: The main burner flames

should be blue, with a more intense blue cone in

the center core.

Compare with Fig 5 in opposite

column.

Yellow flames could be a sign of wrong

size gas orifices or dirty burners. If some burn-

ers have yellow flames while others have good

flames, it is likely that dust, lint or spider webs

have partially clogged the burner venturi.

Wash the stainless steel burners if they are dirty.

Burners can be detached from the heater by re-

moving the pilot tube and the thermocouple as-

sembly and disconnecting the Energy-Cut-Off.

(Do not lose the retaining clip) The burners

are secured to the main frame by two screws on

either side. Do not remove the five screws across

the front of the burner assembly. Also examine

heat exchanger fins for dirt. Brush and vacuum if

dirty. Burnt edges at the bottom of the heat ex-

changer shroud are a sign of inadequate air sup-

ply, poor venting or some other combustion prob-

lem. The cause of this situation must be corrected:

contact your installer, service agency or the gas

supplier.

WARNING: Accumulation of dust and lint on

the heat exchanger fins will reduce air flow

and could cause corrosion of the copper

heat exchanger. Keep the appliance area clean

and free from combustible materials, gasoline and

other flammable liquids and vapors. Do not ob-

struct the flow of combustion air and ventilation

air. If installed near a dryer, make sure the dryer

is properly vented, and that the AquaStar vents

properly when the dryer is operating.

gas pressure. Excessive pressure will lock it up.

This problem usually happens if the gas pressure

between the gas tank and the water heater has

not been reduced. See page 3 of your manual

for specified gas pressures.

To unjam a regulator, remove the nickel size screw

plug on the front. Inside you will see another large

screw. Draw a line down the threads to mark the

location of the screw. Remove the screw and push

on the bottom of the hole with the eraser side of a

pencil or similar object. This will release the dia-

phragm. Reinsert the screw and screw it down

to the end of the mark you made.

3. Pilot orifice cloggged and/or air screen

dirty, or pilot filter is dirty.

Clean the pilot orifice and/or pilot filter screen.

Disconnect the pilot tube (T) by unscrewing it. Be

careful not to misplace the small washers. The

diagram on page 19 shows how the parts of the

pilot assembly fit together.

Natural gas orifices are large enough that you can

usually clean them by blowing through them. The

LP orifice is so small that it is best to replace it.

Never try to enlarge the hole, or use a sharp

hard object for cleaning.

The pilot gas filter is made from a layered mate-

rial. If it becomes too dirty, a portion of the filter

can be separated and peeled off. The clean por-

tion should be loosely reinserted into the pilot

burner brass filter chamber. Be careful when re-

installing the pilot burner to aim the burner so that

the smaller right hand pilot flame touches the ther-

mocouple tip.

2. In-line AquaStar gas regulator jammed

(usually with LP gas)

Replace or unjam the regulator. Note: The regu-

lator furnished with the heater is designed for low

PILOT WILL NOT LIGHT

1. No gas to the AquaStar

A. Gas cock on gas line may not be open.

B. AquaStar manual shut off valve at base of

heater is not open. Turn handle to red flame sym-

bol.

Letter references, e.g. "L" in this section refer to

Fig. 2 on page 6.

Introduction: The AquaStar burners are ignited

by a water flow valve. Numerous water related

problems can cause this water valve to malfunc-

tion such as:

1. insufficient water flow volume to activate the

burners at their minimum flow requirement

2. dirt in the water flow valve causing the valve to

malfunction

3. sediment buildup in faucet aerators or shower

heads

4. uneven pressures between cold and hot (with

single lever faucets)

5. plumbing cross-overs

These water related problems can cause the

heater to deliver less than its full output, or to shut

down completely.

SPECIFIC PROBLEMS AND ANSWERS

Note: Problems are stated in upper case, bold

face. Most common causes for the problems fol-

low in order of likelihood of occurence. For most

of the suggested solutions, it will be necessary to

take the front cover of the heater off. To do this,

pull the knobs off and remove the screws at front

bottom corners, then lift and pull the front panel

off. It is also advisable to remove the bottom tray:

pull off the plastic handle of the manual gas valve

and loosen the side panel bottom screws and then

pull the tray down.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Mineral Scale Buildup:AquaStars, when operated at high temperatures or in hard water areas,

may need periodic descaling. To check the inside of the heat exchanger for scaling, remove the

heat exchanger by first removing the thermostat sensing element (B), page 6. If you note mineral

buildup, flush with a descaling solution. Consult your dealer or call CEC for instructions.

3. Poor circuit connections at the ECO

(Energy Cut-Off)

Oxidation or looseness of the ECO screw con-

nections can result in millivolt current loss through

the thermocouple safety circuit. Clean terminals

with very fine sand paper or an eraser and re-

tighten terminal screws. (See letter V in Fig 2,

page 6).

4. Faulty Energy Cut Off (ECO)- Part 34209

If cleaning and retightening the screws on the ther-

mocouple wires attached to the ECO did not fix

the problem, test the ECO by disconnecting a

wire from one side of it and reconnecting it to the

other side so both wires are making good con-

tact. Relight the pilot. If the pilot flame now re-

mains on, replace the ECO. If the flame still goes

out when the button is released, the ECO is not

defective. Go to the next step (#5 below).

5. Poor thermocouple connection at the elec-

tromagnet (part #20883)

Note: The electromagnet is located directly be-

hind the pilot push button assembly at the rear of

the gas control. Tighten the thermocouple con-

nection to the electromagnet. The connection is

a large brass collar and a nut at the back of the

gas valve directly opposite the pilot push button

assembly. The thermocouple end is a 12 mm

(15/32") nut which screws into a 16 mm (5/8")

hex fitting on a brass collar. This large brass col-

lar must be snug before you tighten the smaller

nut in order to avoid twisting and damaging the

thin copper thermocouple tube. Tighten the ther-

mocouple nut snug but not too tight.

6. Faulty thermocouple or electromagnet

(parts #20887 and 20883).

Unless these parts are at least 8-10 years old,

it is very unlikely that they are faulty. Before

testing, reconfirm that #2 is absolutely cor-

rect, and all connections are clean and tight.

To test the thermocouple, disconnect the thermo-

couple from the electromagnet and disconnect

the thermocouple wires from the ECO.

a propane tank has been allowed to empty, or

the heater has been shut down for a long time.

Bleed all the air trapped in the gas line. Because

of the very small pilot orifice (especially on LP

gas models), bleeding out all the air could take

several minutes. Hold the pilot push button

pushed in until all the air has escaped, and the

gas has arrived.

PILOT LIGHTS BUT FLAME GOES OUT

WHEN BUTTON IS RELEASED

1. Pilot push button was not pushed in far

enough or was not held in long enough

Push pilot button in, turn it to the left, then push it

in all the way. Hold it pushed in for at least 20

seconds to give time for the pilot flame to prop-

erly heat the tip of the thermocouple before re-

leasing it.

See Lighting Instructions, Page 11.

2. Pilot flame improperly aimed or is too weak

so it is not properly heating the tip of the ther-

mocouple

The pilot flame has two flames, one aimed at the

thermocouple and the other aimed at an angle

towards the burners (

see pilot flame diagram,

Fig. 4, page 13).

It is extremely important that

the flame directed on the thermocouple head be

aimed right at it, and that the pilot flame be a sharp

blue flame. If the pilot assembly has been taken

apart for cleaning, the pilot flame may no longer

be properly aimed.

4. Pilot orifice may not be correct for your

type of gas.

Pilot orifice is stamped: #18 for LP and #35 for

NG.

5. Air in the Gas Line

Note: Normally this is a problem only at the time

of installation if the pipes have been worked on,

7. Water valve parts may be dirty or compo-

nents damaged.

Note: If #4 is OK, skip this.

Water valve and component parts must be totally

free of dirt. In hard water areas, mineral depos-

its can eventually (3-5 years) corrode water valve

parts to a point where they will need replacing.

Note: there is a small bleed hole under the gas

valve at the seam where it is connected to the

water valve assembly. Any sign of corrosion at

this location is a sign that the water valve as-

sembly components need to be replaced im-

mediately.

Water valve for Model 125 (34343)

consists of parts #21107, 32570 and 34542.

Contact service person to service the water valve.

a bad washer at a single lever faucet, incorrect

piping or an automatic mixing valve in the line

which permits hot and cold water to mix in the

plumbing. The crossover will create a back pres-

sure in the system preventing the pressure drop

in the AquaStar - i.e. cold water is entering the

water valve from both sides and the burners will

not come on. To confirm there is no crossover in

the plumbing, shut off the cold water supply to the

AquaStar. Open your hot water taps. There

should not be any water flowing. If there is water

flowing, there is a crossover in the plumbing. This

is a plumbing problem, not an AquaStar prob-

lem. Please contact your plumber.

Attach a multimeter lead on the thermocouple

copper tubing below the head, and attach the other

meter lead on the ends of both the wires. Light

the pilot and take a reading on the meter. If it

reads less than 24 mv, replace the thermocouple.

If the reading is 24 mv or over, the thermocouple

is good.

To test the electromagnet, reconnect the thermo-

couple and take another reading. The reading

should drop to about 14 mv. If it does not, re-

place the electromagnet.

PILOT LIGHTS BUT GOES OUT DURING OR

IMMEDIATELY AFTER HOT WATER USE

1. Thermostat calibration is incorrect

The thermostat is not maintaining the proper

burner output for the water flow and the heat ex-

changer is overheating. When this happens, the

ECO safety trips and shuts off the main gas sup-

ply. After the heat exchanger cools, the ECO re-

sets and the pilot can be relighted. In order to

check the calibration, see page 20. If the ther-

mostat cannot be calibrated properly, it is defec-

tive and must be replaced (see page 21).

MAIN BURNERS DO NOT IGNITE WHEN

HOT WATER IS TURNED ON

1. Pilot is not on.

Light the pilot. See lighting instructions.

2. Pilot lighting push button not turned to

proper position

When the pilot flame is on , be sure that the push

button is released fully and is turned to the right

on the burner position (3 flames symbol).

3. Cold incoming water connection made to

wrong side of heater

Make sure cold water inlet connection is on the

right side of heater when you are facing the heater.

4. Water flow rate at hot water tap is too low.

Note: The AquaStar model 80 requires 3/4 gal-

lons per minute flow to activate the burners. This

is a flow which fills a quart jar in 20 seconds.

5. Cold water inlet screen on heater is dirty.

Remove this screen (M in Figure 2, page 6) and

clean it.

6. Crossover in household plumbing

The AquaStar burner activates when there is suf-

ficient water pressure drop in the AquaStar wa-

ter valve assembly when a hot water faucet is

opened. If there is a plumbing crossover, the

necessary pressure drop in the AquaStar will not

occur. A plumbing crossover can be caused by

2. Water flow through the heater is higher

than the capacity of the AquaStar to heat it

If the AquaStar flow restrictor has been removed,

the flow through the heater might be higher than

its capacity to heat it. Reduce the flow to a range

within which the heater can maintain temperature.

See flow chart on Page 18. AquaStar water heat-

ers have a (removable) flow restrictor to assure

that the maximum volume flowing through the

heater remains in the range that the heater can

2. Gas pressure too low

Very low gas pressure may be caused by low

delivered gas pressure, by a jammed gas regu-

lator or by undersized gas lines. If the gas lines

are undersized, there may still be the specified

static gas line pressure. However, when the wa-

ter valve opens, the pressure will drop sharply,

causing the pilot flame to go out. Have a gas

service person confirm the gas pressure both

statically and at maximum Btu input. Specifica-

tions for your heater are on page 3.

3. Burners are not shutting down immedi-

ately when hot water is turned off

If burners don't shut off

immediately

when hot

water is turned off, the heater will overheat and

the ECO will shut off the gas. Replace all three

parts in the water valve assembly (parts #21107,

34542, 32570. (See Letter R, Fig 2, page 6).

WATER IS TOO HOT

1. Temperature setting is too high

Unlike storage tank heaters which need to be set

at a higher temperature than is needed in order

to stretch the volume of hot water by mixing in

cold water, an AquaStar can be set for the exact

temperature needed and give endless hot water

without need for mixing in cold water. We rec-

ommend setting the temperature selector dial on

#4 or #5. For more information, see section on

Setting Water Temperature, Page 12.

2. Inlet water temperature is too high (as with

preheated water)

Note: Only the Model "S" AquaStar should be

used if the inlet water is preheated.

3. Thermostat is not functioning properly

(See #1 under PILOT LIGHT GOES OUT DUR-

ING OR AFTER HOT WATER USE)

WATER IS NOT HOT ENOUGH

1. Temperature dial is set too low

Change the setting.

heat to a suitable temperature, regardless of how

many faucets are being used. This is to ensure

that the flow is never higher than what the heater

can heat to a suitable temperature. The AquaStar

model 80 flow restrictor is set for a maximum of

2.2 gallons per minute. Note: In private well in-

stallations, the high and low cycling control of your

water pump may be set too low or the pressure

tank may be water logged.

3. BTU input is too low due to insufficient gas

pressure

It is extremely important for a tankless water

heater to have the right size gas line to ob-

tain the correct gas pressure.

See specifications for correct gas pressures on

page 3. Unlike storage tank water heaters, the

burners of a tankless water heater must be very

powerful to heat water instantaneously since they

do this only at the time hot water is actually being

used. It is

imperative

that the gas pressure re-

quirement be met exactly. Insufficient gas pres-

sure will directly affect the water temperature.

Static gas pressure in the line can be measured

at the pressure test nipple located on the

AquaStar manual shut-off valve (Letter L, Fig 2,

Page 6). Manifold pressure may be tested at the

manifold presure test nipple (Letter G).

4. BTU input is too low due to insufficient gas

supply

Make sure your main gas line is fully opened. If

using LP gas, minimum size of the propane tank

should be 100 pounds for best results.

5. Cold water is mixing with the hot water

between the AquaStar and the outlet

Compare water temperature at outlet of AquaStar

and at the tap. Check for automatic mixing valve

plumbing crossover (see #6 - MAIN BURNERS

DO NOT IGNITE WHEN HOT WATER IS ON).

6. Parts in water flow valve (#34343) are

corroded

The gas valve will not open fully if water valve

parts are corroded. Replace all three parts in

water valve (#32570, #21107, #34542).

HOT WATER TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATES

1. Temperature setting is too high

Setting the temperature too high will make it nec-

essary to add a great deal of cold water to make

the temperature safe and comfortable for contact

with the skin. Adding cold to the hot water flow at

the tap reduces the flow of water through the

AquaStar causing the thermostat to reduce the

Btu input or the water valve to shut off if the flow

through the AquaStar falls below 3/4 gallon/

minute. We recommend setting the temperature

selector dial on #4 or #5. See section on Setting

Water Temperature, Page 12.

2. Unbalanced pressure in water lines

The added restriction caused by theAquaStar in

the hot water system can result in uneven pres-

sures between the cold and the hot. In such cases

when mixing cold water at the tap, the lower hot

water pressure may be overpowered by a much

higher cold water presure, which may cause the

AquaStar burners to shut down. Make sure fau-

cet aerators or shower heads are free of miner-

als. Check that the flow restrictor and filter of the

AquaStar are clean

3. Cold water is mixing with the hot water

between the AquaStar and the outlet

Compare water temperature at outlet of the

AquaStar with the temperature at the tap. If dif-

ferent, check for automatic mixing valve or plumb-

ing crossover (see #6, MAIN BURNERS WILL

NOT IGNITE) Where automatic "anti-scald"

valves are required by code, lower the tempera-

ture setting on the AquaStar as much as possible

and balance the pressure betwen cold and hot

water after the AquaStar.

4. Inlet water pressure is erratic due to inad-

equate supply water pressure or saturated

pressure tank on well system

Check the inlet water pressure and correct if nec-

essary.

suspect that it might be partially obstructed. If you do

not have a replacement orifice, you may blow through

it or use a non-residue aerosol cleaning agent (like

that used for electronics) can be sprayed through

the orifice.

5. Clean any combustion residue from the Pilot Burner

tip. Make certain that both holes and the slit are clean.

C. Reinstalling Pilot Burner to Main Burner Bracket

1. Insert injector into base of Pilot Burner. Reattach

Filter Housing to base of Pilot Burner, making sure

to have the Gasket in between.

Be certain that the brass Gas Pilot Filter Housing is

snug to the Pilot Burner — use two wrenches to

tighten.

2. Pilot holes face in towards Main Burners. Slide Pilot

Burner ALL the way up into the bracket.

a) Insert Hairpin Retaining Clip to hold Pilot Burner in

bracket. Pivot the Pilot Tube back into position below

Filter Housing.

b) Insert the other Gasket between tube and Filter

Housing.

c) Use two wrenches to tighten Pilot Tube to Filter

Housing.

1) One wrench should hold Pilot Burner in right most

position, making sure right side flame is aimed

precisely on tip of Thermocouple.

2) Use second wrench to tighten Pilot Tube nut — DO

NOT OVER-TIGHTEN

A. Removing Pilot

1.Hold Gas Pilot Filter Housing in place with one

wrench.

2. Unscrew Pilot Tube nut with second wrench.

3.Save the little white Gasket for reassembly.

4. Pivot the tube to the left (loosen base fitting if needed).

5. Remove upper “hairpin” retaining clip.

6. Pull Pilot Assembly downward out of bracket.

B. Cleaning the Pilot

1. Separate the chrome Pilot Burner from the brass Gas

Pilot Filter Housing. Save the white Gasket for

reassembly.

2. Examine the Filter material for dirt. Blowing from the

top gets the filter material out of the brass housing.

Since the material is layered; dirty layers can be

removed. The remaining portion of the filter can be

loosely reinserted into the housing. Do not pack the

material into the housing as this can obstruct gas flow

to the pilot.

3. Check that the Air-Pilot Screen is clean and

unobstructed.

4. The pilot injector (orifice) must not be enlarged. The

natural gas orifice is large enough that you can

visually inspect and clean it. The LP orifice, however,

is so small that it is difficult to inspect or clean. We

recommend that you change the LP orifice if you

Note: Unless setting #8 (145°

is needed for some rare occa-

sion we highly recommend run-

ning the heater on setting 4 or

5. This will also avoid the need

to mix a lot of cold water.

1. Turn AquaStar temperature setting to #8. This is all the way to the right, clockwise.

2. Turn on a hot water tap at the flow which will turn the AquaStar burners on. If the heater is working

correctly, this minimum activation flow will be 3/4 of a gallon a minute, for Model 125/80 and 1.1 for

Model 170. This is a flow that can fill up a quart jar in 20 sec. for the Model 125/80 and 15 sec. for the

Model 170. If the necessary flow to activate burners needs to be higher than the required minimum, see

water valve trouble shooting in your manual. The burners will come on at maximum fire and, within a

minute or so the burner flames will stabilize to a lower flame. Water temperature should be around

145°± 5. (This is scalding and too hot to put your hand under.) You should not be able to hold on to the

hot water pipe on the left side of the AquaStar.

3. Next turn the temperature dial all the way to the left to the lowest setting #2. Burner flames will become

quite small and should remain small. Water temperature, after a minute or so, should stabilize at about

105°± 5. Holding the hot water pipe should be comfortable.

4. Leaving temperature setting at #2, now, increase water flow on higher. You should see the burner

flames increase in size, and then decrease when you reduce the water flow.

5. Note: If all of the above performs according to this description, the thermostat is working correctly.

SYMPTOMS OF A DEFECTIVE OR IMPROPERLY CALIBRATED THERMOSTAT:

The hot water is too hot. Usually this results in the heater shutting down on overheat

safety. The pilot frequently goes out and needs to be relighted.

PROCEDURE TO CALIBRATE THERMOSTAT

(See diagram for correct location of screw to recalibrate)

1.Turn calibration screw in clockwise all the way, compressing the spring.

2.Back out screw 1 1/2 full turns. When set at the factory, the space from top to

bottom portion of the spring should be approximately 5/32" or 4mm.

NOTE: Turning the screw in (up) reduces the burner flames. Unscrewing it increases the

flames. If a thermostat is in good condition, and the calibration screw is properly

adjusted, the water temperature should be 145° (± 5) when temperature dial setting is

set at #8 and water is flowing at the minimum burner activating flow of

3/4 of a gallon a minute (Model 125/80) or 1.1 gpm (Model 170).

NOTE: Sometimes as a thermostat gets old (5 yrs or so), the space on the screw

adjustment may be too loose. In that case, turn the screw in another half or full turn more

if need be. It is important that you do not back this screw out so far that the burner

flames do not modulate and burners are always on full. Without modulation, the heater

will overheat and shut down.
